Happy New Year

Filed under: Family Stuff — December 31, 2006 @ 7:28 pm

Only a few more hours left in 2006; it’s been a good year and what with blogging I now have a record of the highlights of our year and a few of our happenings.

2007

Hopefully my kitchen will be remodeled, and first-floor bath. Since I do not have control over this ‘event’ I will not place it on my goal list. Ahh, goals for the new year.

  1. Lose the weight I gained back over the last 2 years.   It will probable take me all year, but it must come off.  No, I won’t write here how many pounds but it is quite a bit.
  2. Put exercise back into my morning routine. (DH and I have had a few discussions about the value of putting a dog into our lives, one that would cry “walk me, walk me”
  3. Continue reading Great Books — I made a half-hearted effort this year but I did read quite a few Great Books from Well Educated Mind list this year. Now if I could just remember their titles I’d list them here but I don’t have time to look them up right now. They did include; Job, Gilgamesh, Trojan Women, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and about half-a-dozen more books. I don’t expect those of you who are are book readers, ya know the ones who can read three or four books a week, to understand. But I’m a non-reader of non-technical books. I love to read technical books however, it is really difficult for me to find the time to open that non-technical book, let alone sit and read it day after day. But I’ve been trying and slowly the number of books I can point to on my shelf and say “Yes, I’ve read that” has been expanding. And that is why this goal must stay on my goal list.

So that’s it. Those are my goals for ‘07.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
